Charleston Moves Largest Container Ship
Charleston, SC – South Carolina welcomed the largest container ship to
ever call the Port of Charleston when the MSC BRUXELLES docked at the
Wando Welch Terminal on Wednesday.
The 109,000-ton ship is more than 1,100 feet long and 150 feet wide. It
can carry the equivalent of nearly 9,200 twenty-foot long shipping
containers (TEUs) and has a maximum depth of 49 feet.
Jim Newsome, president & CEO of the South Carolina Ports Authority, said
this latest record-setting vessel demonstrates what is happening in the
shipping industry now and into the future.
“Big ships are here today, and more are coming,” said Newsome. “Based on
the attractive economics, carriers will continue to deploy larger ships
in ports with the infrastructure to efficiently handle them. With deep
channels and a $1.3-billion capital plan -- including a new terminal --
Charleston will continue to strengthen its capabilities to handle big
ships.”
Today, Charleston routinely handles post-Panamax ships actually drawing
up to 48 feet, with the benefit of the tides. This year the port expects
more than 200 post-Panamax vessels, or ships too big for the existing
Panama Canal, and the Corps of Engineers recently started the next phase
of a future deepening project. Even more big ships are expected on the
U.S. East Coast following completion of the Panama Canal expansion
project in 2014.
The BRUXELLES is operated by Mediterranean Shipping Co. (MSC), the
world's second-largest container shipping line and a major employer in
the Port of Charleston. The ship is deployed on MSC’s “Golden Gate
Service” between the U.S. East Coast and China, Southeast Asia and the
Middle East.
The vessel arrived from Norfolk and sails to Freeport before heading back
through the Suez Canal.
